June 15-1957

A Long road preparing us!

Beth andI are so thankful our path has crossed with yours. In fact, we believe it was a divine appointment. Over forty years ago, an encounter with God changed our lives forever, and we believe He will do the same for you. We consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to share the truth of His life-changing power and grace with you.

It started in 1968. Beth's step father and I had just returned from a fishing trip at Valentine, NE. He had dropped me off at home (in Blair, NE.). Her mother had prepared supper, so we drove out to their place. Beth started to cry as we parked in front of their house. She was in real pain, but insisted that she would be alright. She told me that she had been to see the Doctor earlier in the day and he gave her some medicine.

We went home soon after supper as Beth still had a lot of pain in her ankle. We went to bed and soon she was screaming with pain in her chest. I called the rescue and they moved her to the hospital.

The blood clots had broke loose and some stuck in her heart and others in her lungs. Our Doctor told me several times during the next couple of hours, that he did not know if she would make it through.

Beth has had the Heart Arrhythmia problem since birth.The Medical industry did not have experience with this yet and had no idea how to help. She came through, but with the veins were destroyed in her legs. Completely destroyed in her right leg. This caused big open ulcerating sores on her legs. This went on and continued to get worse for 15 years.

Our Doctor advised me that if it would not improve soon, she would probably loose that leg. Just days later our friends stopped and prayed for healing for Beth's legs. They healed in about 30 days. This got our attention and we both received the Lord and the Baptism in the Spirit.

OUR CALLING

Shortly after our previous experience I got the message !!!!!

I was working for a Paving contractor. My supervisor phoned me on Monday morning and said, since we are receiving a very light shower, let's stand by for awhile to see if we are going to rain and it will stay dry enough that we can go to work. He would call me in an hour or two.

I turned on the TV and it was on Sid Roth. He was interviewing Frances Hunter of the Charles & Frances Hunter Ministries.

It was a Saturday morning in the early Spring. I was working in the yard and I had a plan of running an errand before noon.

I came into the house to change cloths and as I walked through the living room, I could see that Beth was on the phone with her mother. She nodded her head acknowledging she knew.

I showered and was pulling on my jeans and as I was balancing on one foot and the other half way into the pant leg, I heard in a loud and clear voice (go uptown). I was startled and lost my balance and fell backward onto the chair in front of the counter that Beth uses for doing her makeup (can you imagine the results if I had missed that chair and fell into the full mirror sliding glass door behind the chair)?

I said, "Lord is that you"? I was about 90% sure it was as I have heard him several times since he shouted at me 30 years ago ( and to think it used to turn me off when I heard someone say, I heard the Lord).He said again "(Go uptown)". I answered "OK Lord. I finished dressing and waved as I went through the living room (Beth was still on the phone).

Living in the South East of Lincoln, I got on South St. and headed west. Connected with Normal Blvd and headed for downtown. As I approached 17 th street, I said, "Now where do I go"? He said, "(Lied Center)". OK I said and continued on to the center at 12th and Q street.

I parked the car and crossed the street. The front door was open, but all the windows and doors inside were locked. "Ok, what now". I heard, "(See the man in white.)"

I looked around inside and outside for several minutes and finally, I saw a man drive up in front in a fairly new white Cadillac. A man got out and opened the trunk. He put several large bundles of newsprint under and in his arms. I open the front door and he said hello as he entered. We introduced ourselves. He is a one man publisher and it is his racks that is all over town with the free publications of places to rent and cars for sale etc.

He went out to get a few more booklets for the racks and as he was outside, I asked the Lord, ("what is to happen here, am I suppose to say something to him"?) No answer. I talked with him as he finished. He said good bye and left.

I was dumbfounded. I waited around a little. Looked around and finally said, "Lord, now what" He said,

"I was just finding out if you would carry out instructions."

Beth and I discussed this and even with our experience we wondered what was coming now? Something coming or are we supposed to do something?

Next morning, we heard Pastor Syd make a comment in his message which seemed a little separate from the message. Most people might not have noticed it, but we had a strong feeling it was for us. Pastor said

"God will test you before giving you directions."

(OH----------) thank you Lord and Pastor.

HE CONFIRMED OUR CALLING

It was raining on Monday morning. My supervisor said "hang around the house for awhile let's see what the weather is going to do."

I tuned in TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) and Sid Roth was on. He was interviewing Frances Hunter. We decided tobuy their first book.

I read the first book in one day and we decided to register for the training. This was not an impulse decision as we had studied many sources on healing and deliverance since Beth had a complete arrest in 1993. We found them to be teaching exactly what we believe.

Confirmation

We did all the studies we were assigned and when the time came to send in the final paper work and sign up for the finals and Importation and Ordination, we asked each other. Is this for real. Lord we don't know them except from the TV interview and the internet.

We asked the Lord in prayer for a word of knowledge. We got the answer in that very next week.

The day after I was talking on the phone with a older Lady we had know from church for about 15 years. She asked what we were doing. I told her and she asked who it was. She was excited because She received her baptism in the spirit in one of their seminars.

The next Wed. we were out and stopped at our friends of 15 years. In our visit, they had been to their seminar and he had a leg healed.

I had sent an email to a friend of ours of 50 years telling them what we were going to do.They called and wanted to come and take us out to dinner and to find out about it. They had been to a seminar also.

Thank you father for answering prayers!!!!

We sent in the final paper work and after the screening, we were accepted.

Graduation and Ordination

All the Studies and work came to a peak October 15 after a week of concentrated study. Beth and I were both Ordained October 15, 2009.
